A DNA library can be screened for a specific gene with the use of complementary probes that hybridize to the gene. Alternatively, the library can be cloned into an expression vector, and the gene can be located by examining the clones for the protein product of the gene.
-Briefly explain how synthetic probes are created to screen a DNA library when the protein encoded by the gene is known.
